Utica Public Library

Mission

The mission of the Utica Public Library is to provide books and materials to inform, entertain and enrich the lives of the people of our community.  Furthermore, the library strives to encourage the intellectual development of its patrons, to support the free exchange of ideas, and to offer materials that give varying viewpoints on a broad range of subjects and topics.  The library serves as a gathering place for its patrons to discover the joys of reading, thus broadening their lives and the lives of those with whom they come in contact.
